Studios have drawn up contingency plans to film more on their lots, shift production to Canada and hire replacement drivers. IOW, bail out of California as so many other businesses have done.

The ‘Rats will reign them in. They need their favorite propaganda outlets (aka the movies and teevee) too much to let the unions kill them off.

They produce mostly trash films, so I see no great loss. In a time of economic depression it is DUMB as a box of rocks to go on strike. Of course they will immediately apply for food stamps and medicaid.

Just to put this in perspective. My sister’s boyfriend is one of these drivers. He makes $30+/hr with a guarantee of 10 hours a day. This does not include his full medical and 401K

Hollywood's New (Non-Union) National Anthem O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Anyone wonder why so many US films are made “on location” in foreign lands?
Unions.
To: Aurorales
My soon-to-be-ex-husband is a member of Hollywood #399 and is as conservative as they come. He is not happy about this threatened strike at all. Just the mention of a strike reduces up-coming production tremendously and in turn hurts a lot of hard working families that do not support the union’s political agenda.
